Thermometry Group Mission To create, maintain, and disseminate best-in-the-world capabilities in the measurement of temperature and humidity, and to enable measurements by industry to be traceable to NIST standards at the highest levels of accuracy. Our activities in support of this mission include:
The menu box at the top of the page gives links to pages on these topics. Research, calibration services, and national standards in the field of radiation thermometry are the responsibility of a separate group at NIST: the Optical Thermometry and Spectral Methods Group of the Optical Technology Division Thermometry Group Program Overview Process and quality control and equity in commerce ultimately depend on the accuracy of measurements. This generally requires calibration of instruments against, or use of procedures assuring traceability to, national standards. Therefore, measurement standards and calibration services are a very important part of our activities, with calibrations performed this year for a wide range of clients across the country. Our commitment to provision of these services involves many facets. In the field of thermometry, our activities include:
In the field of humidity and related measurements, our activities include:
While these Programs serve a wide range of customers, we also focus on specific strategic technologies, such as those relating to semiconductor device manufacturing. As part of NIST's National Semiconductor Metrology Program. We have major programs in
Within the context of these efforts, we interact with numerous industrial collaborators to coordinate our research with industrial need.
